[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this is such a huge deal, why is this frank guy the only one suing? Why aren’t other residents participating in this bs lawsuit? [/quote]j

It usually is only one homeowner who sues. Most people don't have the money or time to commit, so they sit on the sidelines and let others fight the battle. Often homeowners in HOAs are completely unaware of their HOA boards are doing with their money, and the boards have a tendancy to spin information or outright lie about what they are allowed to do. Boards also have a tendancy to attack and bully anyone who speaks up or steps out of line. It's easier to keep your in the sand, or at least keep it down, if you live in an HOA. [/quote]

So I guess this Frank guy is the lone righteous warrior? And everyone else is either a coward or clueless (about their $1.3 million asset)?

Why doesn’t he get on the board? Or is everyone else too cowardly and clueless to vote too?

Sure. Here’s another explanation: he’s just WRONG! And the hundreds of other residents know that the case is nonsense. [/quote]

It's not about being "a coward or clueless" about their homes. People take care of their homes, but most people are too busy or disinterested to watch what their HOA board is doing and a lot of HOA board members don't read or understand their bylaws. They just go ahead and do what they think is "right" for the community. And sometimes they do things that are legally wrong or violate the bylaws or make unauthorized expenditures. You end up paying for things, like maintaining city property or work on private properties, that is not the HOA's responsibility. Some members don't care about additional unauthorized costs, but some do. It comes down to what was agreed to by the members in the bylaws when they bought their homes.

Thank god for Frank. What would the community do without him? He’s apparently the only resident with the insight, wisdom, foresight, and courage to take on this grave injustice — at great financial and reputational risk.  A true hero.

Not a single other resident signed on to this crusade/lawsuit that somehow is ripping everyone off. Will any other residents at least voluntarily testify on his behalf at trial?

He’s doing god’s work, truly. I just hope that at least one other resident eventually sees the light and musters the courage to care about this incredibly important issue.  [/quote]

I am posting to inquire about the common belief among ungaraged townhome owners regarding two "parking spaces." Could you please clarify if this understanding is based on information provided by the HOA or a realtor? I'm trying to understand the source of this assumption, as I am unsure about the reliability of those sources in this context.[/quote]
